Bronte off to Canada Cooma local, Bronte Doughton, has recently received one of four scholarships in Australia to attend the International Livestock Congress in Canada this year.

Bronte is currently in her second year of studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science/ Veterinary Biology and has had a passion for the livestock industry for most of her life.

“I love the challenge of developing a good end product and the work that goes into that,” Miss Doughton said. “There is so much scope to improve the industry and I’d like to be able to ‘tap’ into it.”

Bronte will join just 19 other scholarship recipients from around the world in August this year where she will attend the congress in Calgary, Canada. The congress runs a student program to promote education and training to future leaders in the industry, giving them the opportunity to listen, learn and interact with global agricultural industry experts.

Member for Monaro John Barilaro congratulated 19-year-old Bronte last week on her selection.

“It is very exciting to know that a local girl was selected for one of only 20 places available worldwide for this excellent opportunity,” Mr Barilaro said.

“Hopefully this sort of achievement can inspire other local kids to recognise the opportunities that exist in the agriculture sector.”

“It’s great news for the Monaro that we have such a promising young generation coming through and

with Dalgety’s Tim Dreverman winning the Rural Achievers Award at the Royal Easter Show and now Bronte’s success, I think the future for the Monaro is looking very positive,” Mr Barilaro added.

Duncan Taylor of Bobingah Pty Ltd provided a reference for Bronte to support her application for the scholarship. He said “Bronte demonstrates a rare ability to combine practical knowledge and sense on an operational level, with insights into animal production and management on a higher level”.

“Her capacity to explore and solve livestock issues is scientific and evidence based, yet her solutions are both practical and creative. Her reasoning is logical and, as would be expected with her public speaking prowess, always clearly and thoughtfully expressed.”

When Bronte found out that she was one of 20 picked for the scholarship she said she was “very overwhelmed and very lucky!”

She has had an immense amount of experience in the industry for her age. Whenever she is home on holidays she is either working on a neighbouring property or at Monaro Veterinary Clinic with Peter Brennan getting more hands-on experience.

Bronte would like to thank all the people who have supported her over the years and helping her get to where she is today.

She has always been a high achiever and has contributed so much to the industry already – congratulations on a well-deserved scholarship, Bronte!

Local vision for a bright Cooma future Brian Coyte was guest speaker at a recent dinner meeting held by the Cooma Chamber of Commerce.

He spoke on the subject of the future of Cooma and its surrounds. He had previously spoken at Rotary on the same subject and because he is so positive and passionate about helping Cooma grow he was invited to speak at the Chamber meeting.

One subject he mentioned was how do you get the community to be more proactive?

He also said that the Chamber of Commerce and Cooma Unlimited must be one voice, and work together not against each other, as the end result is of benefit to everyone.

In the big picture it involves local small business people becoming involved in the Chamber, even if it is to just attend a meeting more regularly.

Mr Coyte said any progress would be driven from the bottom (the local community), up. He believes you must be proactive with council rather than reactive, as it’s the only way to progress in this type of situation. He said, “I believe we live in a really good area, we already have all the infrastructure and assets in it, therefore we have the potential to go forward.” Of course this isn’t expected to happen over night but is a five to 10 year plan.

“We don’t necessarily even have to have anything ‘big’ happen, just improve on what’s already here. Although if something ‘big’ was on offer we’d accept that too”, he said.

Just a few of the opportunities Mr Coyte mentioned that were available are more business to Polo Flat, sporting

roads in Australia for bikes. With 300 registered motorcycle clubs the potential for them to hold their AGM in Cooma (with anywhere from 60 to 800 people attending) then travel around the region is enormous.

For these types of services you don’t need to add to the infrastructure, just work smarter.

This is the sort of thinking from all different areas in the community that is needed, then we need self-motivated people to work on these agenda’s and initiate the wheels into motion.

This comes from Brian being active in the local community for many years.

“This feeling has been around for a long time, we just need to work together not against each other.

“By building little things and getting them right from the start as well as being proactive in the chamber will enable Cooma and it surrounds to develop tourism clubs organising gala days, not just for the locals but with for the whole teams from out of the region. We already have the car club region”, he said. who are being proactive by inviting other clubs to Cooma, who then travel around the region. The Snowy Ride is another event that brings tourists to the region and money to the small business. The region has so much potential, Pictured, local business people and chamber members at from the car club to motorcycling tourism on the best the dinner. Inset: guest sspeaker Brian Coyte.

Cooma Monaro Shire Council has begun distributing copies of a transport survey to ascertain the viability for a commuter bus service between Cooma and Canberra.

There will be hard copies available as well as an on-line copy available on the Cooma Monaro Shire Council website.

Hard copies will be available at the Williamsdale, Michelago and Bredbo Service Stations, the Michelago Village Store, Bredbo Pub, Cooma Visitors Centre, Cooma-Monaro Shire Council front desk, Monaro Regional Library and the Mobile Library.

Council will also be sending out hard copies

to NAG (D & G Wicks) and Numeralla (Mark Shubert).

“There are a lot of people who travel to work on the Monaro Highway. A service such as this will reduce traffic and be more ecologically responsible”, Cooma Monaro Shire deputy mayor, Martin Hughes said.

“It’s the way most councils are going to improve public transport services.”

The survey has been designed to find out what the demand is and the information is essential in determining the need for setting up such a service.

SouthCare visits Bredbo School

News Making the perfect bed5

By Sally Ann Cottle People are always asking me how to make a bed look great so today we’re sharing a few styling tips but there is a very practical component too – the right products can go a long way to making sure you get a good night’s sleep.

Bredbo Public School teachers and students are pictured with the Snowy Hydro Southcare helicopter crew and volunteers last Friday.

Last Friday, June 24, teachers and students of Bredbo public as well as parents and other members of the community gathered at Centennial Park in Bredbo to witness the landing of the Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter.

The flight was initiated to help raise awareness about the work of such an essential medical service in rural NSW. The people present were invited to view the helicopter up close, talk to the crew (pilot, air crewman, intensive care paramedic and doctor) and learn more about their local aero-medical rescue helicopter.

Snowy Hydro SouthCare Helicopter Trust spokeswoman, Kate van Haalen said, “The helicopter is an essential resource for the region.

Opportunities to bring the helicopter to the people is important in raising community awareness and appreciation of the service”.

The Snowy Hydro SouthCare Rescue Helicopter is on call 24 hours a day, 365 days per year to assist those in Southern NSW and the ACT. The financial support of naming rights sponsor Snowy Hydro Limited, corporate sponsors, donors, payroll deductees and business donations are responsible for helping thousands of lives in our region.

There are a number of ways the community and businesses can support Snowy Hydro SouthCare financially or in-kind. For more information visit www.snowyhydrosouthcare.com.au or call 6207 9923.

Man remanded on firearms charges A Cooma man has been refused bail and remanded in custody to appear in Goulburn Local Court today on firearms and high-range drink-driving offences.

At About 11.20pm on June 22, the man drove a Holden Commodore into a service station in Sharp Street, Cooma.

A number of the teenagers then ran into the service station.

The man returned the firearm to the boot before getting back into the car and driving off.

Police stopped the man in Mittagang Road, Cooma, and allege that they found a gun in the

boot of the car and a stanley knife in the glove box.

The man was arrested and conveyed to Cooma Police Station.

Support Red Nose Day Editor, Each day when I visit my grandson Tyler who will forever be five weeks old I wonder what could have been if this little man had of lived.

I’ve sat at his grave reading him stories and telling him about his family and what is happening in our lives.

Sometimes I have a private cry as I think how much he would have loved to have played with his brothers and sisters and especially his cousin Matty who was born around the same time.

They could have been such great mates. Recently I cried when I saw that his brothers and sisters had put a little Easter egg on his grave.

Whenever I visit the grave with my grandkids as we leave we kiss our hand and place it on the grave where Tyler’s head would be.

No one should out live their children and especially not their grandchildren.

Think of how you would feel if your baby or grandchild

suddenly died for no reason.

One minute they are there happily smiling and you are thinking up their future and in a blink of an eye you are organising to bury them and no one can offer a reason.

Next month we will celebrate 42 years since we first landed on the moon, yet we still have not resolved how to prevent SIDS. Surely there is an answer!

Sadly in this day and age to find answers costs money.

This Friday is Red Nose Day, please donate what you can so we save future families from the grief of losing a beautiful innocent baby to the nightmare of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

In memory of Tyler James Stead 6/8/2009 ‘til 13/9/2009.

Another Curley One A Healthy Respect Whenever the tabloids and radio jocks

Go on about health care and give it some knocks It should make us angry that they dare to complain And treat their remarks loudly with lots of disdain.

We need to stop whinging and try to refrain, From attacking those people who help with our pain.

Hospitals keep struggling with limited money And to attack what their doing just isn’t funny.

Those who are saying our health care is poor, Should get sick overseas and then see the score.

Then it’s often a matter of being able to pay, If you don’t have the funds they may turn you away.

Others have nothing and nowhere to go When children are sick and spirits are low They suffer in silence and wish that they had The level of health care that we think is bad!

I have nothing but praise for the doctors and nurses Their care and their skill not the subject of curses So let us stop moaning and running them down Be thankful we have such care in our town.

The Postman has been reminded of man’s mortality in the last week, with the death of a couple of local, larger than life characters.

It has reinforced the old adage – we’re only here once, so live each day to the full. Don’t die wondering…..

Has anyone noticed the days are getting longer?

No, The Postman hasn’t either. At least some of the days have been sunny, despite the arctic conditions earlier in the day.

So, did you celebrate the winter solstice? If so, how – a party? A quick nudey run around the garden, or, like The Postman, home in front of the fire considering which size log might last until the morning?

The Cooma CWA ladies were in a lather last Friday as their annual curry luncheon was rushed by lots of hungry diners. While The Postman didn’t stay to taste the meal, the diners were certainly getting value for money.

And those desserts – straight out of a CWA fantasy. There’s nothing like home cooking and those ladies excelled themselves.

Speaking of cooking – the Cooma Craft group has a cook book out now – full of tried and true recipes. Money raised from their sales has gone to worthwhile causes such as the renal dialysis committee.

Once again, good home cooking at its best. Love it!

Dedication to Wendy Farmer On May 13 students, parents and teachers of Jindabyne Central School and family and friends of the late Wendy Farmer gathered at the school to honour the new library in Wendy’s name.

Wendy Farmer was a woman of generosity, wisdom, patience, respect, integrity and compassion. Throughout the 30 years of being teacher librarian at Jindabyne Central School, she inspired many, students and fellow colleagues alike.

When she sadly passed away in 2009, Sheena Perry of the P&C came up with the idea of honouring such a woman by naming the new library after Wendy to pass onto future generations what a wonderful person she was.

This took a lot of work and Principal, Garry Atkinson, thanked Ms Perry for her efforts with instigating the whole process.

“Wendy touched everyone in a way that made them feel special,” Ms Perry said.

“She was a quiet achiever, her actions often spoke louder then words, but her quiet enthusiasm would infect all those around her and it ensured that everyone strived to achieve their highest personal best no matter what their age.”

Wendy was an instigator, organiser and an initiator, who promoted and encouraged others, whilst doing most of the work quietly in the background. In Jindabyne and the wider Monaro community, she was admired, respected and loved.

“Wendy was and is a wonderful gentlewoman who touched us all,” Sheena added. “Her departure has seen an overwhelming sense of loss sweep through the educational fraternity.”

Wendy can now be remembered, not only by the many things she offered to the community, but also by having the Jindabyne Central Library dedicated in her name.

On Friday, June 17, members of the public gathered at Monaro Family Support Service to enjoy a delicious luncheon organised by Multicultural Activity Group In Cooma (MAGIC).

The lunch drew many people from diverse backgrounds together for an enjoyable afternoon of chatting, trying new foods and learning about all the wonderful things that MAGIC offers to the community.

Guest speaker of the day was Pam Vipond from “sustaining our towns” who gave a talk on how to save money around the home and lessen the impact of the soaring

electricity prices, which are yet to increase. She offered free advice to the attendees and gave them some valuable tips on how to reduce these effects.

Co-ordinator, Yvi Henderson, also asked the people present what they would like to see and do later in the year so MAGIC can begin working on some more enjoyable activities.

MAGIC meets two to three times a month. If you are interested in attending or for more information contact Yvi Henderson on 0458 523 457 or email yvi.henderson@ monarofss.ngo.org.au

Director of Public Health Tracey Oakman has issued a health alert to warn people, especially parents, to be on the look out for symptoms of whooping cough following an increase in cases across the southern NSW region.

Whooping cough or pertussis is usually more prevalent during winter and spring.

“This year, with more than 660 cases notified to the Public Health Unit, we have seen almost 30 per cent more cases of pertussis than for the same time last year,” Mrs Oakman said.

“Whooping cough can be unpleasant for people of any age but it can prove to be very serious in babies, even fatal. Young babies under six months will not have been fully vaccinated so they remain vulnerable

THE

to whooping cough,” she said.

NSW Health advises that the best way to protect babies is to keep them away from anyone with a cough and to make sure their immunisations are up to date.

A booster vaccine is available for adults from GPs. Until the end of this year the vaccine is free for people who have contact with young children, such as parents or grandparents. People working with small children including health care and childcare workers should also receive this vaccine.

Mrs Oakman said whooping cough is easily spread to other people by droplets from coughing.

“Someone with whooping cough will be able to spread it to other people for up to three weeks after onset (unless they are treated with antibiotics). So it is important that people are treated early to stop the spread of the disease,” she said.

Whooping cough usually begins just like an ordinary cold

with a runny nose, tiredness and sometimes a mild fever. Coughing bouts then develop with attacks followed by a big deep gasp that sometimes produces a whooping sound. Vomiting may follow these bouts of coughing. Adults often just have a cough without the whoop.

“Whooping cough can be very serious in babies and small children who might go blue or even stop breathing during a coughing attack. Often children need to be treated in hospital,” Mrs Oakman said. “If your child has a coughing illness that lasts more than a few days, see your doctor.”

NSW Health recommends that all children be given the combination vaccine to protect against six conditions including whooping cough at six weeks, four months and six months of age. A further vaccine is given at age four years, with a booster due at age 15. The NSW school-based vaccination program provides immunisation for adolescents against whooping cough, among other diseases.

of EnviroWise, the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area (MIA) and District Land and Water Management Plan.

“We are pleased to have Lilian working with us, and given her diverse community group experience we look forward to a prosperous natural resource management future across the catchment”, Acting General Manager of the Murrumbidgee CMA, Mr Michael Dunn, said.

Wild Dog funding to protect nation’s flock Local woolgrower groups are taking action to protect their sheep flocks against wild dogs.

To reduce the significant negative impact wild dogs are having on the wool industry and the environment, Australian Wool Innovation (AWI) is investing half a million dollars, leveraged with funding from local governments and natural resource managers, to help grower groups protect and rebuild their flocks.

Wild dogs cost the Australian wool industry an estimated $24.2 million a year in lost production, however, this figure does not take into account the impact wild dogs have on native animals, biodiversity, mental health and the cattle industry.

Through aerial baiting, establishing new producer groups and the development of the new wild dog bait PAPP, AWI has already invested close to three quarters of a million dollars in 2010/11 into research to limit the impact wild dogs have on the nation’s wool industry (for details see below).

Head of on farm research at AWI, Dr Jane Littlejohn said while higher wool and

sheep prices were injecting confidence into regional communities, many growers remain reluctant to reinvest into sheep due to the losses caused by wild dogs.

“Wild dogs are a very significant problem and it takes a co-ordinated and committed effort from many landholders to make a difference. So this new funding is open to producer groups who need resources to implement a community endorsed plan to help fund trappers, baits and grower extension to ensure woolgrowers have the resources they need.”

Queensland woolgrower and AgForce representative on the National Wild Dog Management AdvisoryGroup, Peter Lucas, says the funding has come at an important time.

“Wild dogs have become a big issue in Queensland and we have seen a lot of people getting out of the wool industry because of the impact the dogs have on production, finance and mental health.

“I reckon 50 per cent of the sheep are now gone from the Murweh and Paroo Shires and the main reason is the losses caused by dogs. The numbers of wild dog

are huge, for example in the last 18 months we have been able to take 2000 dogs out of the Murweh shire. This funding will mean we can ensure local programs throughout Queensland keep on running,” Mr Lucas added.

Across many parts of the country, dogs are starting to move into areas they have not been in before; so many landholders, through no fault of their own, don’t have the knowledge and expertise to know how to control them.

Secretary of the Barnard River Wild Dog Association, Bruce Moore, lost a number of ewes to wild dogs recently.

“With the shift in dog movements, we have a lot of people in the NSW northern tablelands who are not equipped to handle the dog problem as they haven’t seen it before. Any assistance is appreciated as it helps us help each other by sharing skills in how to tackle the issue.”

Woolgrower groups seeking assistance in protecting their flock from wild dogs should contact AWI.

Supervise dogs to protect livestock Following reports of dogs roaming on rural properties within the South East Livestock Health and Pest Authority, domestic dog owners are being reminded to supervise their dogs at all times to avoid unintentional attacks on livestock.

General manager of the South East LHPA, Thomas Ross, said the LHPA had been made aware of recent attacks on livestock in the Jindabyne area, where two domestic dogs involved in the attacks were destroyed by the landholder.

“All dogs, including domestic and wild dogs, have the potential to predate on sheep, calves, goats, alpacas and other stock, as well as native wildlife,” he said.

“One of the LHPA’s roles is to assist landholders control wild dogs on their land, but we also get requests for advice on how to deal with domestic dogs that have strayed onto private property.

“Domestic dogs must be kept under control and supervision at all times. If a dog strays onto a private property and if the occupier believes it will molest or injure livestock, the landholder has the right to destroy the animal (section 22(5) of the Companion Animals Act 1998). If dogs cause injury to an animal the owner of the dog is liable for damages.

“If anyone witnesses a wild dog attacking livestock they should call their local LHPA. If they believe it’s a domestic dog they should notify their local council ranger or the police – these reports need to be timely.

“The LHPA rangers can assist if it is a wild dog issue by providing advice and where applicable baits and traps. Local council rangers can assist if the dog causing the damage is a domestic dog as they are authorised under the Companion Animals Act. “Quite often the dogs involved may be attacking livestock on more than one property. By reporting any attacks the rangers can build up a better picture of the situation.

“For wild dog control, the most effective results can be achieved by coordinating control efforts over large areas. The LHPA can assist with coordination of group control programs”, Mr Ross said.

Ladies Stallions Oztag 7 -3 win A battered ladies Oztag team travelled to Tathra on Sunday, hoping to get their first win on the road.

The girls wore pink socks in recognition of the Women in League round, and were hoping to come away with the points in honour of all the amazing women who are associated with the sport. Thankfully, they weren’t to be disappointed.

The Cooma girls were dominant with defence holding strong and unrelenting attack keeping Tathra at bay. The girls posted first points through an early long range try to stand-in captain Anna Steel, which opened the flood gates for the girls from the mountains to take control. Abby Schofield was a constant headache for the Tathra team in the first half, and taking the ball on the wing she flirted with the sideline and shimmied her way around defenders then ran 40 metres to score under the posts. The individual efforts of Jade Lee brought more long range points to the Cooma team, but it was through a combined effort from all players that the success came. Meg Bracher finished off an attacking play by scoring out on the wing and was unlucky not to bag a double, following through an expertly weighted kick by A. Schofield which was ruled to have been knocked on. Going into half time, the girls were hungry for success and confident in their abilities.

The Cooma girls were comfortable in the second half and despite casual defensive efforts which led to Tathra tries, they never looked like giving up their lead. Abby and Kate Schofield posted further points and eager support from all players had the opposition scrambling in defence.

Georgie Clarke’s attacking efforts sadly fell short of the try line, but committed attack and defence from Alana Nichols, newcomer Patrice Ingram and

Sandy “Mumma Schoie” Schofield ensured that Cooma walked away victorious, for their first time away from home. Points, as awarded by superb water-people Alicia Clarke, Tony Clarke and Nathan Smith, went to A. Steel (3), A. Schofield (2) and P. Ingram (1), with players’ player A. Schofield.

New cars have a lot of fancy gadgets these days, don’t they!

Once upon a time cars just came with things like speedometers, clocks, radios and fanned-air settings of warm or cold, unless you went up market a bit in which case you got actual air conditioning!

Then they got CD players and wrap around sound systems but basically they were something you got into and drove. Today though cars have phone and iPod apps, DVD players, voice recognition technology and a dozen other non-driving things that all come up on a screen on the dashboard.

Fine, some of us get off on gadgetry but other than the sat nav (really useful for someone like me who is less than competent with finding her way around in strange places) do we really need the distraction because I’m convinced that’s what some of those things could end up being. A car is supposed to be a means of convenience that allows us to travel from Point A to Point B and beyond in reasonable comfort. Driving it requires our full concentration so that we arrive at our chosen destination in one piece instead of ending up in pieces all over the highway. Is it really possible then to drive safely and competently

while communicating with all the doodads?

The gadget tragics will no doubt support all this gear and swear blind that no, fun inclusions do not distract from driving, adding that anyone can scroll through the menus and still drive so long as they keep at least one eye on the road most of the time so therefore the doodads are safe. Which brings me to my next question; why do we need all these things in cars anyway? To me it’s a bit like people who feel they have to go shopping on ANZAC Day or take their mobile phone with them when they go to the flicks or out to dinner. If you can’t bear to be in your car sans iPod apps or some of those other completely unnecessary additions to the dashboard then there’s something wrong. You are supposed to be focused on driving the car, not entertaining yourself and your passengers.

Problem is that car manufacturers have managed to brainwash a lot of us into thinking we have to have a car with a flashy menu loaded with stuff that we just don’t need to have in a car and now a lot of people seem to expect them to be standard features. A radio come DVD player is fine, along with some decent air conditioning, but I think the rest of it would be better off at home in the lounge room or something.

I could do with a sat nav though.

More rural Australians urged to take home bowel cancer test “The good news is that 90 percent of bowel cancer cases can be cured if found early, so it is important that people over 50 take advantage of the FOBT—you can get it from the chemist, and it is free for those turning 50, 55 and 65.

“Some aspects of rural jobs like farming and mining are considered quite dangerous and there are all sorts of OH&S regulations to help save lives.

“But just as you shouldn’t drive a tractor without a roll-bar, you shouldn’t miss your FOBT once you reach the age of 50.”

The Cancer Council, National Health and Medical Research Council and Royal Australian College of General Practitioners recommend that those without symptoms or a family history of bowel cancer screen with an FOBT at least every two years from the age of 50.

“If you aren’t sure what it is all about, talk to your GP about it the next time you have an appointment.

FOBT can pick up bowel cancer very early, so it isimportant that all rural Australians from 50 years on take advantage of this important and painless test” Dr Rischbieth said.

Rural doctors are urging more rural Australians to undertake a painless, athome bowel cancer test to help reduce deaths by cancer.

The call follows recent Cancer Council research which shows that although more than 80% of people aged 50 and over are aware of the simple, at-home screening test for bowel cancer, less than half of those aware of the faecal occult blood test (FOBT) have actually done the test.

Vice President of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) Dr Peter Rischbieth, said the research again highlights the importance of early testing.

“The Cancer Council’s figures on death rates from bowel cancer continue to be really worrying—it is the nation’s second biggest cancer killer after lung cancer.

“Of all rural deaths, around one-third are caused by various types of cancer.

“Cancer sufferers in the bush have poorer survival rates than those in major metropolitan centres, and the further from a city you are, the more likely you are to die within five years of diagnosis, depending on the type of cancer you have.

Zone athletics carnival Last Thursday, June 23, the zone athletics carnival took place at the Snowy Oval in Cooma.

The event drew approximately 500600 students from nine schools across the Eurobodalla region for a combined schools carnival to compete for the South Coast area carnival held at Bruce Stadium in Canberra.

This is the third year in a row that Monaro High School has hosted the carnival.

Much organisation went into the

day with four staff members, 30 PASS and SLR students and P&C president, Debbie Thomas, keeping the day flowing with their persistent hard work and organisational skills.

Julie Brown and Norma Dietrich kindly provided food for all present while operating the canteen throughout the day.

Zone team manager, Alicia Clarke, will accompany successful students to the area carnival to be held later in the year.

Batemans Bay High student, Rhys Lloyd, cleared the bar in the high jump.

Hot winter golf scores Cooma Golf with Garry Atkinson Over the weekend Cooma golfers saw some high scoring individual rounds more akin to summer golf with a marvellous 44 by ex-local Rowan Smiles on Sunday and an equally fine round by Tony Monday also with 44.

A great 42 points by Steve Young on Saturday capped off the weekend and the high scoring. You really needed 40 or better in the stableford competitions to be in the hunt.

On Saturday the A grade winner was Steve Young with 42 stableford points. Word has it that Steve had only 22 putts for the round and is now giving lessons on the putting green. Runner up was Matthew Hanna with 40 points.

In B grade Mike Introna came up trumps with 39 points

from Mick Boyce also with 39.

C grade was taken out by Alan McDonald with 39 points from Ken Ganya close behind on 38. Ball winners went down to Tony Monday on 35 points.

The following day, on Sunday June 26, a single stableford saw Tathra visitor and ex-local Rowan Smiles absolutely blitz the A grade field with a fine 44 points.

The B grade winner was Dave Ware with a pleasing return to form to compile a super 42 points.

C grade was taken out by smooth swinging Tony Monday who had the equal highest score for the weekend also with 44 points.

Ball winners went down to 36 points. Nearest the pins went to Jim Winckel on the ninth and Dieter Seubert on

the 11th.

Wednesday’s results were not at hand at the time of writing.

Next Wednesday sees an individual stableford, on Saturday there is the always popular monthly medal and the qualifying round for the matchplay knockout event.

Sunday sees an individual stableford and round nine of the super stableford.

As the club moves to a fully online booking system members are encouraged to book online at cooma. nsw.1golf.com.au.

The match committee thank all members who are currently using the new booking system. See you on the course.

Successful Tubbul ladies campdraft Pam Hart Tubbul Campdraft Inc held their Ladies Pink Campdraft School on 28 & 29th of May, and what a wonderful success it was!

Seventy one ladies saddled up for a weekend of instruction, learning and fun, while raising money to support Breast Cancer sufferers.

Freed from the duties of work, husbands, kids and housework, all ladies attending came along with a happy and positive approach which endured them to the eight instructors.

These were: Ken Bolton, Mick Ward, Chrissie & Matt French, Paul Spears, Dean Hann, Melissa Jobb and Simon Dodwell. Riders were split into eight groups and spent two hour with each instructor.

The catering for the weekend was fabulous, bacon and egg breakfasts with delicious cakes, scones and slices for morning tea and hot lunches each day.

The Saturday night meal was a fantastic roast with all the trimmings, followed by a choice of Sticky Date Pudding, Caramel sauce and Ice-Cream or Golden Syrup Dumplings and Ice-Cream. I’ll tell you, the choosing was the only hard part!

Each lady rider was presented with a gift bag from the

Tubbul Campdraft as a thank you for attending the school, and each instructor was given a small gift in appreciation of their assistance and willingness to help raise funds for such a worthy cause.

Then the eagerly awaited draw for “Chansit Touchapink” was conducted, with a very excited Maureen Hulm when her name was drawn. This classy palomino gelding was bred, broken in, and trained by Chrissie & Matt French of Chansit ASH Stud. He was also named for the occasion!

The hand over for this young horse will be at the Tubbul annual Campdraft to be held on November 5 and 6. This will ensure that Chrissie is completely satisfied with the level of training he has received when she starts him in the Maiden Draft that weekend.

A monster raffle was conducted, with the first prize of a stallion service to One Moor Playboy, kindly donated

by Tom Williamson and won by Angela Nash. This was followed by forty other prizes. Then the fun began! The ladies all let their hair down dancing and singing to the great music supplied by ‘Double Back’. The atmosphere was happy and carefree and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the evening!

Sunday afternoon each lady had an outside run, assisted by a running commentary by Mick Ward to help position them, and get the beast around. Some assistance was lent by the other instructors when they acted as hazer’s if the need arose.

I wish to express my extreme thanks to the many helpers who made themselves available to help with the catering.

A wonderful team of workers, most of whom are personal friends. Thank you - we couldn’t have done it without you!

The feedback has all been positive, with all riders telling us we will have to do it all again next year!

We are happy to advise that the local Can Assist will benefit by $15,000 after the event, which is all earmarked to help Breast Cancer sufferers with cost of medication, accommodation and travel etc.

ROUND 17

Warriors v Titans Eels v Tigers Sharks v Raiders Bulldogs v Storm Roosters v Panthers Eagles v Rabbits Knights v Cowboys

Eels v Brisbane Panthers v Bulldogs Sharks v Rabbits Dragons v Knights Roosters v Raiders Michael Gratwick going in for the tackle against Yass in his 150th game for the Cats.

The Cooma Cats have gone down took the chance to bring some by a solitary point to arch rival Yass good old fashion Cooma toughness in a thrilling AFL Canberra Division to the game against an opposition Four encounter at Snowy Oval on the renowned for their physical style. Mick Gratwick played like a man possessed weekend.

The final score read Cooma Cats 11- throwing himself fearlessly into the 11-77 defeated by the Yass Kangaroos packs in defence, despite having his head opened up in mysterious 11-12-78.

The dramatic loss sees the Roos circumstances in the third quarter. Rob nudge the Cats out of the top four on Brown also returned from nagging percentage as the battle for a place in injury problems to add his speed and the finals heads deep into the second on-field leadership skills to the mix.

Stu Wood again proved speed is half of the season.

After 10 rounds, the Cats are half a not always the most important football game clear of the ADFA Rams who are asset with his uncanny ability to in sixth spot and caused the upset of position himself at the drop of the ball the round with a close fought win over without seeming to chase it all over the second placed ANU. The Tuggeranong park. Dave Clyde and Lee Mason also Hawks remain the competition front proved what stalwarts they were with runners with Cootamundra joining Yass their never say die commitment, along with Mal Paterson, Jimmy Russell, and ANU in the top four.

But while the disappointment on the faces of Cooma players and fans alike was palpable when the final siren sounded at Snowy Oval on Saturday afternoon, a number of underlying messages were there for all to see.

The Cats deserve to be considered a finals contender for 2011. And there is no reason why the Cats can’t join in the September finals action for the first time in over 20 years.

Yass have had the wood on the Cats for many seasons and with Mal Paterson had a strong game. the Cooma side finding great form this season it was hoped that at last the Roos would be sent Travis Duroux, Greg Abrahamffy, hopping.

But through a combination of many Tony Fleming and Corey Tucker. Mark reasons, up to eight of the Cooma Fitzgerald was again made up with his “new bloods” became unavailable for limited game experience with sheer this vital clash and it was left to the physicality and Mal Green did his best Cats’ “Old Guard” to take the game until succumbing to a hamstring.

In fact every player who pulled on a up to the Roos and show the Cats’ Cats’ jumper on Saturday, right down colours.

While much of the Cats’ success this to young John Hukens, exemplified year has been attributed to the snaring what the Cooma Cats are all about – a of a number of new players who have club for whom playing AFL footy for the added much needed youth, speed and love of the game is first and foremost.

And this club spirit was also skills (such as Mitch McKenzie and Daniel Sainsbury), a footy team is so reinforced through the support of Cats’ supporters who came out in numbers much more than just a few stars.

As any long term supporter of the and supported the team in a way the Cats who was at Saturday’s game town could be proud, along with the club volunteers including Kev helping run the position board for Azzo, Dulcie and Kylie on the canteen, Dave with the goal umpire flags, Ian and many others.

And not forgetting all the club’s sponsors, including the Cats’ major sponsor Dodds Hotel.

The loss to Yass was disappointing.

Being nudged out of the top four was disappointing.

That a number of new key players became unavailable at the last moment was disappointing too.

But these disappointments come and go from week to week – that’s football.

Corey Tucker also performed well on Saturday. What is worth noting is the depth of the club and the commitment of everyone will attest to, it was these “Old Guard” involved to make the Cats what they players who stood up and were are. counted when it mattered and almost Next Sunday the Cats are up to pulled off what would have been an Canberra to take on second-placed historic victory.

ANU. This will be another big test for Shaun Allen came back from injury the Cats and there is no reason why to add his rucking skills and tall mobility the Cooma side won’t be able to cause across the field. Daniel Shirvington an upset with a win.

The discipline of the game was great and d everyone clicked d together as if they had played with each other all season.

In the second half alf of the game a lot of the team decided to change e positions to give themselves a run at a position they normally lly wouldn’t play. This turned out to be highly successful and didn’t ’t affect the final score. This week k the backs proved the difference e as opposed to the forwards in previous games.

Cooma was dominant throughout the entire e game with the final score of 81-0 -0 reflecting this. Three points to Jesse McMahon, two points oints to Charlie Allen one point to Ryan Van Gemert.

Tigers too good for Goulburn in Premier League Cooma commenced the game with a deficit of important players.

These players where stopped from playing by injury or suspension.

Even though the team we faced has not been able to win one game in the whole competition, the instructions were to be careful and not to underestimate the opposition. We knew that the Goulburn Strikers play above their capacity whenever they face the Tigers. But in this occasion the Tigers took the initiative in the first five minutes of the game.

A chance at goal popped up for Todd Donaldson, but he missed the potential goal. Soon, history repeated itself with a great collection of Tiger’s players shooting from different angles. The post was hit several times, and the goalkeeper made some fantastic saves to deny Cooma a goal.

Amongst all of the shooting two of the most outstanding shots came off the foot of Alex Castro. But both finished up wide left of the goal. These missed shots cost him, as he was forced off after he pulled a hamstring. Another who was forced off injured was Tony Aleksovski.

He was struck in the ankle by a studded shoe, the product of a reckless challenge that ended his participation in the match.

Finally, Elijah Shah was the last on a string of casualties. He was struck in the calf and forced off the field as a result. This forced Gabby’s hand to use up all of his subs in the first half.

Another notable strike came in the first half. Jordano struck a ball powerfully from the half-way point of the field. The keeper however was positionally in the right place and he got a palm to the ball, and pushed it onto the crossbar.

Despite the pressure from the Tigers the first goal came in favour of Goulburn. It came off the back of a counterattack on the 26th minute. Macdonald broke away from his marker and ran down the right.

He confronted Bangweni with a potent strike and the keeper at first blocked it. But the ball did a loop over his arms and went into the goal. The home crowd erupted in joy upon seeing this. Their happiness was burst like a balloon though by Goran Josifovski.

He struck in the 45th minute. A headed pass by Donaldson arched over the keeper and had just enough length on it to find Goran, who then struck a goal.

The Tiger’s coach was very disappointed by the amount of chances Cooma lost in the first half.

In the second half the Goulburn Strikers had a couple of opportunities. But they could not unbalance the scoresheet, and they soon ran out of legs. Their game began to unravel.

Cooma rediscovered their game after this. They attacked but the ball refused to get inside the net.

Labutte though was on point. Again Donaldson assisted the ball to another player through a headed pass. Labutte finished the ball in like manner, flying through with his head and scoring for Cooma.

Not long after on the 56th minute Schofield scored the

Lady Tigers defeat Woden 3-1 Lady Tigers travelled to Canberra Kaleen playing field to take on Woden for the start of the second round of games.

The weather was mild the Sun was shining with semi strong wind against the Tigers in the first half, the Tigers true to their recent form took the game to Woden right from the whistle with four very close attempts which should have rattled the Woden net but unfortunately for the Tigers they were simply not on target.

Woden to their credit pushed forward and tried hard to pressurize the Tigers defence and one or two minor mistakes nearly gave Woden the early lead had it not been for the Tigers Keeper Libby Hovasapian making one very good save from a Woden midfielder who sent a high torpedo of a shot at the Tigers goal, this was followed by a ground shot which was again saved by the Tigers keeper.

The play was pretty much congregated in the middle and to the right side of the field with not too much of a threat to either side until the 22nd minute when Rachel Lovell the Tigers left fullback found herself in the middle of the field with ball coming straight at her, Rachel made a perfect contact and sent the ball from 30 meters out past the Woden keeper straight into the net giving the Tigers a one nil lead at the break.

The second half started with both teams more determined and the ball went back and forth to both ends of the field without any result until the 49th minute when the Tigers were awarded a corner, this was taken

by Hayley Caldwell straight to Lynsey Nichols who made no mistake placing it past the Woden keeper. This was soon followed by another opportunity for the Tigers in the

third goal. Jamie was able to get behind the defenders, and with a potent cross with the left foot to the right post got a goal. He dedicated this to Goran.

Goran had only moments before reprimanded Jamie for taking too long on the ball. But he was also happy with the goal. In the 67th minute Labutte assisted Donaldson.

With a great elevated pass in front of the keeper, Donaldson clipped the ball past the keeper and assured Cooma of the win.

The last goal came from Donaldson in the 89th minute. He scored magnificently and put some extra sunshine to the return trip back to Cooma.

At the end of the match Gabby was relieved by the win. But he was also worried about the coming match with Monaro.

It is possible that Castro, Aleksovski, Shah and Labutte will not play on the coming week due to injury.

Thanks to all those who made the trip up to Goulburn.

Good luck to JP D’ambrosio, who is going to America.

And also to Dom Coluciello who is travelling to Europe.

Not only the premiers won this weekend. But also the PL 16s, who won 5-0. The PL 18s who won 9-0.

The PPL won 2-0 in a very close match. The match was marked by the fact that they played with only one substitute, a player with the flu and two injured players.

Serdan and Zach were the goal scorers for the Pathway team.

Mick was happy with the team effort and the rewarding three points.

55th minute when Hayley found herself unmarked on the outside of the Woden 18 yard box and sent a semi curving shot over the keeper’s head into the net giving the Tiger their third and final goal.

This must have galvanized Woden because they pushed forward with four strikers in an attempt to get a goal, the Tigers defence held strong for a while but unfortunately a minor error of behalf of the Tigers found one of the Woden strikers unmarked and she went 1 v 1 against the Tigers keeper, and although the Tigers keeper managed to get a foot to it the Woden striker still managed to place ball past her getting one back for Woden. The match ended Cooma Tigers 3 Woden 1.

Cooma Tigers U16s 5 - Goulburn 0 Tigers U18s thrash Goulburn 9-0 Cooma dominated the early stages of the game and were rewarded when Reis was put through on goal and slotted past the Goulburn keeper.

Goulburn then started clawing their way back into the game. They had a great opportunity when one-on-one with the Cooma keeper, but a great full body save denied them an equaliser.

It was a more even game but a good break down the wing by Cooma and neat pass in saw Aoun collect the ball and muscle his way through the defence to put away Cooma’s second goal.

Goulburn started the second half brightly forcing another great save from the Cooma keeper from a close range shot.

At the other end, Goulburn cleared a Cooma shot at goal off the line. Cooma

were then awarded a free kick outside the box.

The resulting kick was met by Cirillo who headed over the Goulburn keeper’s head, dipping into goal.

Cooma took control of the game and soon after a cross in was met at the far post by Roberts who volleyed into goal.

A trademark long throw in was then neatly chipped over to Devine(R) who made no mistake in tapping the ball through the Goulburn keepers legs and into goal.

A satisfying 5-0 win off the back of a great month of football by the Cooma team. All credit to Goulburn too who kept their heads high throughout the game and never dropped their intensity and commitment - a good lesson for all of us.

Stallions defeat Tathra at Tathra Slow Start for the 18’s The day started slowly for the under 18’s with the guys having to start the game short due to a couple of guys turning up late.

This enabled Tathra to skip away to an unassailable lead running in 4 early tries. Cooma were bolstered by the return of a few of the boarding school boys but they were also missing a couple of key players due to illness.

Once the guys had their full compliment they matched Tathra in every aspect but eventually went down 40 – 22 .

Hopefully with their extra players back for the next few weeks and helping the coach out by turning up to training, some better results will follow. Best for the 18s were two try Timmy Williams, and both props, Stokes and Tozer.

Reserve Grade too good The much improved reserve grade were too good for the Eden Tigers on Sunday and were leading 22 – nil when the game was finished early due to a couple of unfortunate injuries.

The two injuries sustained are being monitored and the club would like to wish them well and for a speedy recovery.

This team continues to improve and with the extra games scheduled will be a force come the business end of the year.

Congratulations to Jimbo Salvestro for his post try celebration described by one coastal fan as the best he has seen in a number of years. The guys now need to keep coming to training as positions in the side will be very competitive and to give you the best shot of being selected training is a must.

Gutsy effort from First Grade In a game where Cooma had to come from behind twice to win it was a tremendous effort. Another slow start saw the guys behind 12 nil after two early tries by Tathra certainly had Cooma on the back foot. T o their credit they played a patient game and did not at any stage panic resulting in gaining their rhythm and the momentum swung in Cooma’s favour with the Stallions scoring the next 5 tries and lead by 26- 12 mid way through the second half. A couple of key injuries in a five minute period through the boys off track and some changes were forced upon them with players having to play out of positions until the injuries could be accessed.

This definitely disrupted the momentum and before long Tathra had counted and hit the front 30 – 28 in the last five minutes. Again the young side played with a lot of maturity and patience and with a minute to go and on the last tackle the decision to run rather than kick paid off. The ball got to the wing where Matty Salvestro chipped the fullback and a

nice bounce was collected by Mitchell Lynch who planted the ball beside the post much to the enjoyment of the large crowd of Stallions Supporters. This put Cooma in front 32-30 and before the conversion could be made the final siren sounded.

This was a very pleasing result as the guys had lost their last two games by four points so to finally be in front by four at full time was a nice change. Best for Cooma were Tommy Hampson, Jono Clarke and Will Berry - these guys all played out the full 80 Minutes. Also, a special mention to Ben (one hit wonder) Rolfe for a huge effort from the wing playing injured.

This week We are at home on Sunday with the first Grade and Ladies tag taking on Narooma while the seconds and 18’s play Cobargo. So a big day planned starting at 11am. We will be having a lucky member draw at half time in the first grade and are inviting all supporters back to the club for presentations and another lucky member’s draw after the games. Don’t forget to get your tickets for our upcoming cruise night it will be a lot of fun and hope to get as many as possible there.

Boyce team to take on the 2011City 2 Surf challenge Employees of local accounting firm, Boyce Chartered Accountants, have been braving the frosty mornings in preparation for another assault on the annual City 2 Surf challenge to be held in Sydney on Sunday 14 August.

This year the Boyce team will compete to raise funds for Angel Flight – an organisation that coordinates non-emergency flights to help country people trying to deal with the combined issues of ill health, poor finances and daunting distance.

All flights provided by Angel Flight are free and may involve patients travelling to medical facilities anywhere in Australia.

“Our team has elected to support Angel Flight as it is an organisation that has particular relevance for all of us who live in rural and regional Australia,” said Boyce Cooma Director, Julie Schofield.

This will be the fourth year that Boyce has participated in the City 2 Surf and over that time the firm has raised more than $30,000 for charity. Last year the Boyce team finished in the “top 10” fund-raising teams in the event alongside Steve Waugh’s “Team Waugh” and a team fielded by the Commonwealth Bank – not a bad effort for a team from the bush.

“Boyce takes pride in being able to give something back to the communities in which we live and Angel Flight is a particularly worthy organisation as it relies entirely on donations and bequests,” said Ms Schofield.

“Our target is to raise $20,000 for Angel Flight and we

encourage as many people as possible to join our fundraising efforts by either participating in the event as a member of the Boyce team, or by making a donation.”

Donations can be made on-line at http://www.fundraise.city2surf.com.au/ boyce_chartered_accountants and are tax deductible.

Those entering the event as part of the Boyce team will receive a complimentary Boyce team t-shirt and invitation to the post-race barbecue celebration.

Ms Schofield commented that some participants have mapped-out training regimes and are hard at it, but it is quite okay to walk the course and take in the great spectacle and scenery along the way, or simply make a donation to support one of the entrants.

“It’s all about contributing in whatever way you can.”

To join the Boyce team at the 2011 City 2 Surf or to make a donation, please contact your local office of Boyce on 02 6452 3344.

Managing director Bernard Kennedy is presenting a cheque to Charlie Teo from The Cure For Life Foundation, the charity Boyce supported last year.

Red Devils one win, one loss The Cooma Red Devils took on the Queanbeyan Whites on Saturday at Rotary oval with mixed results.

Reserve grade got a victory 18-17 in a nail biter.

First grade were not as fortunate going down 4312 in a game were the score didn’t reflect the closeness of the match.

The reserve grade game saw captain coach Nathan Boate play his hundredth game of rugby for the Cooma Red Devils. Cooma started the game with a very different looking side from the past couple of weeks but when it was time to play everyone got stuck in and had a red hot crack. It was Queanbeyan who had the front running early and for the first 10 minutes applied good pressure to the Cooma line but resilient defence from the Devils kept them at bay. A turnover of possession saw Cooma with the ball caught in their own 22.

Spotting space on the blind side the Boate brothers were able to link up and Steven Speed Boate was able to get around the opposition winger, grubber past the full back and use his speed to outpace the Queanbeyan cover defence kicking the ball twice more until he got a favourable bounce and regained the ball to score a great solo try. The try was then converted by Nathan Boate to lead 7-0.

The game became a real arm wrestle with both sides very evenly matched. Good defence from Brett Jones, Campbell Young and Chris De Rooy and with new player to the rugby side, John Sutcliffe having a great game in both defence and attack. Queanbeyan were able to create chances but good scrambling defence stopped any half breaks turning into points.

Queanbeyan were able to score and lock the scores at 7 all with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. Cooma regrouped and worked together to shut down anymore attacking raids.

From the next turn over Cooma shifted the ball wide and Mitch Doyle found himself in space down the sideline Mitch kicked ahead and regained the ball and looked to be going to score but great cover saw him cut down meters from the line.

Queanbeyan turned the ball over but then gave a penalty away when they did not release the ball from the next hit up. This penalty right on half time allowed Cooma to extend its lead with Nathan Boate kicking the penalty goal to lead 10-7.

After the break Cooma looked to go on with the game but it was Queanbeyan who scored first to take back the lead 12-10. This got Cooma fired up and they played some good composed rugby and with the introduction of experience with Will Van Germert and Chris Allen showing his Under 13 side how to play (and that their coach still has plenty to offer).

Cooma were unable to crack the defence and when offered a penalty decided to take the points and regain the lead 13-12 after Tug Boate again kicked a successful penalty goal.

Cooma was then able to get back down the other end after some good hard running by Damien Roach, Scotty Lloyd and Kyle Furner.

Cooma then attacked the blind side with Chris Allen showing nice quick hands to allow John Sutcliffe to dive and score in the corner.

With the conversion unsuccessful Cooma lead 18-12 with 10 minutes to go. Queanbeyan were able to score out wide in the last 3 minutes and had the chance to take the lead but the kick missed and Cooma was able to hang on and win 18-17. A good effort from everyone involved.

Points this week 1 Campbell Young, 2 Adam Schubert, 3 Nathan Boate and players player this week was shared between Nathan Boate and John Sutcliffe.

First grade Seeing reserves get up in a close one this gave the Firsts great confidence to take it to Queanbeyan. The early hits were meant with real intent from both sides. After 15 minutes neither side was able to get into a point scoring position.

Sam Bacigalupo then took it upon himself to create a little magic when he grubbered ahead for himself regained the ball with a big left foot step, beat an oncoming defender then used his blistering pace to run around the winger to score.

Matt Gibbs stepped up to convert the goal but was unable to get the ball to sit on the tee so he then had to have a drop kick at goal but he only succeeded in hitting the up right.

Queanbeyan were able to hit back after their much bigger forwards started to make some in roads and get offloads away to create plenty of second phase ball which their quick outside backs were able to counter on and score out wide. With the conversion unsuccessful the scores were locked at five apiece.

Queanbeyan then scored again to extend the lead to 12-7 but with five minutes to go Cooma were able to capitalise on a Queanbeyan error on their own try line when their five eight dropped the ball back into the in goal.

The ever present Ed Ingram was on the spot and dived on the loose ball to score a very easy try under the posts.

Gibbo added the extras and at half time scores were locked at 12 all. Cooma was confident going into the second half but Queanbeyan came out to prove why they are one of the front running sides in the comp. Cooma started well but could not turn the strong runs from Damien Hopkins, Adam Schubert and Adam Walters into points.

Queanbeyan on the other hand got the bounce of the ball and scored four second half tries to run away with the game 43-12.

Cooma can take a lot out of the game and with the week off we should be able to get back a few players from injury and also get over the injuries that occurred on the weekend.

If everyone turns up to training for the next two weeks we should put up a real good show against Royals in two weeks. Points for first grade this week were 1 Pat Dorahy, 2 Matt Gibbs, 3 Damien Hopkins and players player Adam Schubert.
